Chapter 53: The Foundation of Cooperation

The three of them did not find a room to talk in secret, but came to the first floor. The managers who accompanied them were having a small dance with the embassy staff. Although there were not many girls, Yonas noticed that there were indeed a few Latin American girls with good looks, and of course, they were not as good as Yamira.

Next to the small table by the wall, three people sat down, and a staff member brought the prepared coffee. Bachelet and other staff members left and asked, "Mr. Hoffman, I just heard that Mr. Ricci said that you have new plans for your investment in Chile, so how can you disclose it now?"

Jonas didn't expect that Bachelet would talk to him first, so he couldn't help but feel a little stunned. He smiled and said, "Just just call me Jonas. According to age, you are about the same age as my mother, and you should be my elder."

Bachelet smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call you Jonas. I heard that your mother is also a professional woman, so which one of you feels more influenced by both parents?"

Jonas couldn't figure out her question again, and he had no idea that the topic would start here. He smiled and said, "I was more influenced by the godfather."

Bachelet wanted to learn more about this new young man because his information was too different from the posture he showed. The information showed that he had almost nothing outstanding, but Ricci's attention and his attitude were completely different from an ordinary person.

She had been paying attention to this young man just now in the conference room. For more than an hour, he not only observed everyone quietly, but also listened quietly without any impatientness. This was very good for a newly graduated student. His words and behaviors were moderate, gentle, humble, calm and meticulous, and obviously received more training. What she could not imagine was that this was because Jonas had a soul in his body who had received ten years of work experience.

He said he was more influenced by Ricci. The information shows that they had met for the first time a few months ago. Such a lie was so calm from his mouth, without any pretentiousness, as if he was sincerely like a good boy. Bachelet quickly gave him a scheming and deep evaluation in his heart.

This is not a derogatory evaluation, it is a qualification that every successful person must have. Otherwise, he can only be a loser in the tide of business. Such an evaluation recognizes his ability to treat him equally. If he is just a mediocre person, Bachelet will not be interested in focusing on him.

Rich was still sitting next to him, and Bachelet could not ask any more questions, which would seem very rude. She smiled at Rich and said, "Mr. Rich, I heard about your name very early. You are one of the most successful businessmen in the world. Although you rarely involve specific investments now, with juniors like Jonas, I still sincerely hope that you can pay more attention to investing in our Chile. Our country has abundant resources, and in this regard, I believe that your investment will not be wasted. You can invest more money, which will promote the lives of our people and environmental protection of our country."

Ricci smiled and said, "Minister is one of the few Qingming politicians I have ever met. He pays attention to ordinary people all the time. I often hear about your good reputation in Chile. It is said that the support rate of domestic people for you has always been high. I wonder if your Minister is interested in participating in the presidential election?"

Participating in the presidential election is Bachelet's deepest desire. At this time, Richie said it. Even if he doesn't show it, he couldn't help but be stunned and said with a smile: "It's just some false reputations. I often feel that my ability is limited and I don't help the people enough. South America is not Europe, and I still have some prejudice against women's rule. I am still a civilian, and I really dare not give any hope for participating in the presidential election."

Ricci nodded and said, "Yes, although there were already female rulers in South America before you, they all had huge family power. It is indeed difficult for a civilian to win in this game. However, I am full of confidence in you because you have an advantage that no one else can reach, which is the support of civilians."

Jonas remembered that in his previous life, Bachelet resigned from his post as Minister of Defense and announced his participation in the presidential election. He finally defeated a billionaire in Chile with a narrow advantage and won the victory. However, the billionaire made a comeback a few years later, taking advantage of the left's separation and ending the left's rule for twenty years. The billionaire's name Jonas has forgotten, and he only remembers that he is a household name in Chile, a rightist figure, and has also served as Chile's ambassador to foreign countries.

That was already in 2010. Even if Bachelet won the presidential election, he would not be in power in two years. It was still a long time, and it would not be too late to contact the billionaire in the future. Jonas still remembered that during their presidential handover, an 8.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in Chile, and the impact was quite great at that time, but Jonas only remembered that it was at the beginning of 2010, around the Lantern Festival, and the specific time was forgotten. Jonas also decided to write down this and don't forget it. At that time, the mines in Chile must be more precautions, because he didn't know where the earthquake occurred in Chile.

Bachelet and Ricci communicated in a chat style on political and economic topics. They were both politically strong and economically strong. They were a match for each other. Jonas listened with relish.

Bachelet's topics always tend to be civil about people's livelihood, while Rich's topics always tend to politics. This is all their intention. Bachelet prefers civil about people's livelihood because he knows that Rich is rich. This time he has billions of income for the copper mine, which is more than the Chilean government earns in the short term. After all, billions of investments are just economic behaviors and the government cannot get them. Relying on taxes, it will take many years to receive so many taxes. Rich's finger leaks a little into his fingers, which can help the government solve big problems. But now Rich has not participated in the subsequent development of the copper mine. If he wants him to donate a little, it is not easy to speak.

Of course, Ricci understood the purpose of Bachelet's conversation. He wanted to support the future president in his heart, but he could not actively make donations without any benefit. Whether it is a donor or a donor, there must be a suitable reason. There is no reason. The opposition party can use this to criticize Bachelet and accept foreign donations privately, which is a jail term.

They could not say it explicitly, and Jonas's role was highlighted because he could unravel the things they couldn't say from the side. He said, "Mr. Minister, I heard that people working in copper mines will be prone to an occupational disease called silicosis over time, right?"

"Yes, this disease is as difficult as cancer. Once it is infected, it will accompany you for life." Bachelet pondered for a moment and said: "In our country, miners suffering from this disease rank first in the world, and I would rather not have this first."

Jonas knew that in many countries, the number of patients with occupational diseases far exceeds that of Chile. China, Indonesia, India, and Russia have many such patients. However, because of the large population and the incomplete rescue, many people have to wait for death. At this time, he certainly would not mention these things, pretended to be pondered and said: "This time in Chile's copper mine development, we will need many skilled miners. As a responsible company, we should be responsible for the health problems of workers, so I think it is necessary to specifically allocate a fund to establish an occupational disease prevention and relief fund."

Bachelet asked deliberately: "Where will this fund be withdrawn? Will it affect normal development investment? How large is the scope of the rescue? Is it aimed at your mines or all miners?"

Ritchie had to answer: "Mr. Minister, you can go back and learn about the domestic occupational disease relief center. It is more troublesome to set up a separate foundation. We can make some donations to this center. As for the source of funds, there is no need to withdraw from this development fund. I am personally interested in such relief."

Bachelet smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your generosity. I am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of those patients." She stood up and bowed to Ricci.

Ricci smiled, stood up and asked her to sit down. He said, "For investment in Chile, my child has a follow-up plan, so you can directly solve all the problems in the future. We are always willing to make our contributions within our ability."

Bachelet's assistant tactfully handed over a business card. Bachelet took it, raised his hand and a pen was stuffed into her hand. Bachelet wrote down a string of numbers and said, "Jonas, this is my mobile phone number, you can find me at any time."

Yonas took it with both hands and handed over his business card. "Mr. Minister, with your support, I will feel at ease to expand my investment in Chile. Please take care of it in the future."

Bachelet then asked: "What is the investment plan you are talking about? Continue the exploration and development of copper mines?" Now is the time to return the donation. Although she is not a supervisor, as her minister, not many supervisors dare to go against her words.

The staff in the conference room finally came out, and they all smiled and knew that they were having a very pleasant conversation at a glance. They all stood up, and the dancing staff stopped dancing and interrupted the music.

Chairman Kevin announced with a smile: "After friendly consultation between the two sides, we have reached a preliminary agreement on the development of the Bloomsse copper mine. I believe that with the common development of both sides, the Bloomsse copper mine will become a new milestone in our cooperation."

Everyone clapped enthusiastically, Kevin waved his hand, the music sounded, and the dance continued. The few girls were so popular, even Cassinali was invited to the dance floor, and no one dared to invite Bachelet.

Bachelet called Chairman Kevin and Vice Chairman Samchet of the Copper Commission. "I just had a donation with Mr. Ritchie. They would provide funds for the prevention and relief of silicosis of miners. Mr. Ritchie wrote a blank check, just waiting for us to learn more about the status quo."

As a politician, the funds that had not been discussed in detail immediately became blank checks that could be filled out at will. At this moment, Ricky would be embarrassed to spend less money.

Ricci laughed and said, "As a businessman, I always believe that there will be rewards when it comes to giving. I have always believed that investment in Chile is the right investment, and I am not a stingy Venetian businessman." This is Ricci deliberately ridiculed himself as a Jew.

Several people deliberately ignored this sentence, and Bachelet said to Samchet: "Mr. Hoffman is very interested in mining investment in Chile and has a preliminary plan. We should cooperate closely with generous friends."

Samchet's Copper Commission is located at a lower level, and he is also a vice chairman. Of course he has to listen to Bachelet's words. He said with a smile: "Previous historical cooperation has laid a solid foundation for our future. I also believe that future cooperation will continue our friendship."

Although Jonas didn't have the chance to tell his plan one night, as Samchet said, the foundation of cooperation has been laid, are you still afraid that there will be no future? Besides, these senior officials will not talk to him about the details of the cooperation. He just paid attention to Boden who was smiling beside him. This person is the most useful person in actual work.
